Wharton feeling better.

Still waiting on hearing about Fua and McLain

Neblitt really stepped up, great thing about having guys who are prepared to play by the coaches and getting these opportunities.

Asking about DEs right now.

Hardy and Johnson both did a great job, Applewhite too, give us versatility with the way we can run our D

What do you think about Cams success/magnitude so far?

We drafted him b/c we believed in him. Very professional, poised, everything we hoped he would be, all came together so quickly, still a process but hope it grows from here.

He will be the first one to tell you he has so much more to learn.

Listening to Shula/Chud talk about him after the game....thought he could have played better but overall a good game. Want to find opportunities to teach and grow and get better.

On the Legadu play:

We have practiced it for a couple weeks, Chud asked Rivera what he thought about it, was well received.

Decision to use it- timing was perfect.

I think we needed a little boost, didn't want to stall out and kick a FG, in the red zone, want to find a way to score a TD.

As we saw with GB, they can win if we don't take that opportunity

How much of 1st quarter does Chud script?

I don't think very much, takes suggestion from position coaches, offensive coaches, they work well as a group. I'm sure the beginning is scripted but after the first couple series they decide what they are comfortable with and what they recommend.

Can't have a definite script because always need to be adjusting to the current moment.

What is the best thing about the progress of our O/D?

Coming together, understanding the offense, how the run fits, where guys are going to be. When you watch the tape from yesterday, you can finally see how the O line is holding together, D line gelling as a unit.

The way CJ and Hardy played, were doing the things that need to be done to win football games, understanding where guys are in the secondary with proper communication. If we have that feel, we can make the tackles and we are off the field. Not giving up the plays like we were earlier in the season.

How fortunate do you think you are with drafting Cam, having him as a leader?

Extremely. We have someone deemed as a franchise qb, drafted him to compete in our conference and win Superbowls. He can have all the success in the world, but if we can't win games, its not a good day for us.

Really proud of both sides of the ball yesterday. That was the most balanced our offense has been all season and while I love seeing Cam throw it all over the field, I think we're at our best when we mix it up like we did yesterday (at least for this year).

I think next year Cam can win it all with his throwing and just using the run as a compliment a la Aaron Rodgers because the game will have slowed down for him.

Defensively, again, I hope we see a lot more of Kearse and Neblett. They were difference makers yesterday. Maybe Fua will be better next season as most DTs take a season or so to get comfortable, but right now Kearse and Neblett look much better and our defense looked much better with them in there.

wonder if he was asked about Raheem's postgame comment about how "I can handle losing to a better team ... wish they were."

I saw you at the Teet yesterday but I was all the way across the store and you were checking out leaving. Didn't want to yell all the way across the store like an idiot.

So....Heyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Which time? I was in there twice. First time, around noon, I was just getting a sandwhich after leaving Mass.

I love that Teeter (on East Blvd.) I have never been in there and not seen at least one beautiful woman. Every single time there is at least one. Usually more than that.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
